    Alan T. - Jan, 2024

  • Kia ora As always, we enjoy our stay here. The rental provide absolutely everything we need and is perfect for our reconnecting with our children and grandchildren in the area. Many many thanks Nāku iti moa, nā

    Mike H. - Dec, 2023

  • Wonderful house in great location. Spotlessly clean and very well kitted out. Loved the garden- fresh lemons off the tree. Nelson is a great place for touring just need a lot longer than a week. We’ll be back Many thanks Welbank family

    Welbank family - Dec, 2023

  • Great view out to the Harbour. Comfortable home and beds. All facilities that we needed

    Neville C. - Sep, 2023

  • Thanks again for hosting us. Love the place, central and fully equipped for everything which suits us as we have whanau there Will definitely continue to use

    Mike H. - Apr, 2023

  • Sara, Mara, Jarrod and Rob, Judi and I just want to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Harbour Lights. The view of the harbour is unbeatable, the garden was gorgeous, the house and the deck was just what we wanted, and we were totally spoiled by the direct access to the water and the nearby restaurants. Well worth the trip from Canada.

    Colin and Judi M. - Jan, 2023

  • We loved our stay again. It's a wonderful setting and particularly enjoyed the beautiful gardens, birds and the scents. The beds are so comfortable too. As we have two adult children and family in Nelson we loved it as a place to gather with them again as we do not see them often through the year. We look forward to coming again in April 2023. Thank you once more Angela and Mike

    Angela and Mike H. - Dec, 2022

  • The accommodation is ideal and central to all amenities. It was well stocked and meet every need someone on a break would need while still having all the comforts of home

    Mike H. - Dec, 2022

  • Upmarket & Cosy 3 adults, 3 nights in early May (forecast had been for rain & possible thunderstorms - turned out brilliantly sunny with clear blue skies ... you gotta love Nelson !). This was possibly our favourite accommodation on our 12 day trip around Nelson/Marlborough Sounds (certainly in top 2 ... it had been my preferred Nelson accommodation right from initial planning in Feb, stood out as frontrunner immediately). Plush, clean, impressively-designed & immaculately-presented home ... both upmarket yet very comfortable & homely - esp with new soft high-quality carpet throughout. Tasteful relaxing neutral colour scheme of decor. Bedrooms were beautifully-presented & very comfortable (2 of them located on same floor as (1) upmarket bathroom with toilet & (2) separate toilet nextdoor) - esp important if your guest group includes elderly as ours did. Lounge is fantastic - very cosy, great views & I finally got to see Ricky Gervais's After Life on the large screen TV (all 3 seasons - 1 for each night we were there). State-of-the-Art kitchen (as you can see, slightly higher & detached from dining room & lounge to allow a degree of privacy between rooms ... + the aesthetically pleasing Wow factor of this multi-level design). All kitchen utensils & gadgets you could ever need (only issue was initial difficulty activating induction cooktop - though worked it out eventually ... possibly could do with basic step-by-step instructions for the woefully simple-minded like me). Beautiful leafy & very peaceful neighbourhood (while you can occasionally hear noise from the Port when you're outside, albeit off in distance - rest assured it's perfectly quiet inside the house), the multi-tiered garden is pure joy, esp in sunshine, terraces of green lawn, bushes & plenty of bright multi-coloured flowers & butterflies ... while the views weren't quite in the spectacular category, they were still highly impressive both of the sea & the attractive, sunny neighbourhood & surroundings. Further, the home incl handy facets you don't always see in other accommodation = washing machine separate from dryer, free WiFi, all linen provided, rubbish disposal, cleaning service, prominent Clock on dining room wall, an unusually impressive book selection. Elderly guests & those with mobility issues should be aware of maybe 10-12 internal stairs from front door to main floors - but its carpeted with handrail & wasn't too much trouble for my elderly parents. Overall 5 out of 5. Higly Recommended.

  • When we arrived the house was clean & tidy, really well presented. Good walking around the hills easy to get to the beach and easy access to the city. It was nice in central to all amenities. The bedrooms were of a great size. The View was wonderful. Sitting out on the deck looking down the valley in the evening was spectacular.

    Murray G. - Mar, 2022

  • Both couples really enjoyed the property. It was close to both the beaches in the city. Very central for all that we were doing. The house was clean and tidy. Beautiful section with lovely gardens. Good size bedrooms. Well set out kitchen with all the utensils that were needed. We both couples really enjoyed our stay. And we would love to come back at some point in the future .

  • Hi Sara, Mara, Jarrod, Rob Thanks for the lovely place (3 Malcolm Pl). Our daughter stayed with us and two bridesmaids for those few days around her wedding on Saturday. It was a lovely time in beautiful surroundings, comfortable and convenient. Loved the garden! Good having the two bathrooms. Espresso machine a nice touch. My husband may have left his black charger near the dining table. If not, one of us must have it. Thanks again. Elizabeth

The house itself is cosy, quirky & homely - we simply loved it! Everything was clean & the bed linen was dreamy.

  • This cottage was exactly as listed. We had everything we needed and it was in a great location to explore Nelson and the surrounding area. Sharon was great to work with.

    J Oz - Dec, 2016

  • Great place to stay while exploring Nelson and the local area. Enjoyed sitting outside and made good use of the kitchen. As no one was staying directly before and after us, they were very flexible with check in and out times. Good collection of DVDs to watch.

    ADM - Apr, 2016

  • This is a wonderful spot - all the amenities of home and more! This well furnished home accommodated 3 adults easily (could handle 4) with the option of preparing our own meals thanks to a fully equipped kitchen. We especially enjoyed eating out on the beautiful deck overlooking the harbour. If you appreciate plants and gardens this is the place for you - fruit trees, herbs, flowers and a wonderful variety of fernery. A bonus that it is on a quiet street, away from the often noisy main road below (Rocks Road) and yet an easy 10-15 minute walk to the beach area. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Sharon was always helpful if we had any questions. Just loved it!

    P Walker - Feb, 2016

    Thank you for taking the time to write this. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. There is also a path opposite the house to Rocks Road and once you cross there is a ladder down to the water, a small beach at low tide or into the sea at high tide,that locals use. It,s just a few minutes away if you don't want to walk to Tahuna. Best wishes.
    Holiday Nelson
  • Harbour Lights is a great place to stay for many reasons…… Good views - sunny - well equipped with quality linens and furnishings - convenient location - interesting architecture - welcoming outdoor areas for summer times. We felt really privileged to enjoy the collection of art work, the stunning table lamps and all the welcoming extras provided in this lovely home.
